Tasted at the Chateau Suduiraut vertical in London. A bright golden hue the bouquet is relatively taciturn at the moment a showing a trace of volatility that detracts from its delineation. Notes of dried honey mandarin a touch of wet wool and a touch of almond. The palate is medium-bodied the acidity not quite in synch with the rest of the wine toffee-ish towards the finish. There is a slight oxidative element that lends it a surprising rusticity that would not be tolerated now and it is merely a stepping-stone to more recent successes such as the 2001. Tasted October 2010.

The 1997 Suduiraut reveals surprisingly crisp acidity for its weight as well as excellent richness. An intense weighty moderately sweet feel in the mouth with copious quantities of buttery honeyed fruit impressive power...
The 1997 Suduiraut reveals surprisingly crisp acidity for its weight as well as excellent richness. An intense weighty moderately sweet feel in the mouth with copious quantities of buttery honeyed fruit impressive power and a corpulent style characterize this well-delineated wine. It should develop more complexity and may merit an outstanding score after bottling. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2022.
